World No.1 Tiger Woods has hit out at English ace Lee Westwood's assurances of winning the 142nd Open Championship at Muirfield, saying that along with them, there are a 'bunch of guys' who have a chance to win this tournament.

Westwood, who may end his Major drought and take home the Claret Jug given that he has a two-shot lead, has said that he is confident of winning his first Major on Sunday and become free of his tag as golf's 'Nearly Man', the Mirror reports.

Believing that a 15th Major is still his for the taking despite Westwood's lead, the American star warned Westwood against becoming over-confident, saying that along with them, there are a few other players who also have good chances of winning at Muirfield.

Even though he has not won the Open since 2006 and had last taken home a Major title in 2008, Woods, however, is confident of attaining success in the tournament, saying that he is aware of what it takes to win the tournament as he has got 14 Majors, unlike Westwood, who has not won any of the four Majors despite finishing at the top three.

Woods further said that even though Westwood is two shots ahead, both of them are going out at Muirfield and play their best.
